—Galatians 5:1-6
by: Gabi Patz.
How often do we contradict ourselves? We have a goal to eat healthier and workout regularly, but then we binge eat a tub of ice cream and wonder why we have not made any progress. We start saving our money so we can pay off our loans, but then a new phone comes out that we just have to have, and we wonder why we cannot seem to get out of debt. In Galatians 5:1-6, Paul warned about contradicting our faith with the Law. When we get wrapped up in religious acts, we lose the very core of faith—Jesus’ love and sacrifice. He has already given us freedom; there is nothing left for us to try to earn.
